Rock En Seine, Paris

August 24th to 26th.

Obviously we want all the cheese and bread and croissants and pain au chocolat and wine and hot chocolate in the whole damn country, but there are other things there too.

Most importantly right now is Rock En Seine, the music festival held on the banks of the Seine over August 24th, 25th and 26th. It’s a pretty great line-up, check it: Frank Ocean, The Black Keys, Placebo, Green Day, Bromance, Grimes, Passion Pit, Miike Snow and a bunch more.

Apart from the standard stages and food trucks, there’s even a mini festival for kids. Children between six and 10 years old can head to Mini Rock and get guitar, dance and design lessons, which sounds awesome and we’re a bit sad it’s only for little tackers.
